    Correction: Ensure employees are using proper methods to rapidly cool PHF that are not held hot or are not for consumption within 4 hours (policy using time as a control), through daily oversight of the employees' routine monitoring of food temperatures during cooling.
  • Critical: Cooling* (corrected on site)
    Observation: Ambient temperature or pre-chilled @POTENTIALLY HAZ FOOD@ is not being adequately cooled to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria - guacamole.
    Correction: Cool potentially hazardous foods prepared from pre-chilled ingredients or ingredients at ambient temperature to 41°F or below within 4 hours. A longer time for cooling allows an ideal situation for bacterial growth. This has been shown to be the major contributing factor in many foodborne illnesses.

Any other method that can effectively accomplish cooling.
  • Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding* (corrected on site)
    Observation: Pork and diced ham cold holding at improper temperatures in True sandwich refrigeration in front cooking area.
